Use aliases to preserve workflows when backend model IDs change.
Document which alias is intended for drafting, analysis, coding, or private-data workflows.

Fallback and review

Plan fallback behavior for provider outages.
Review cost and latency after routing changes.
Remove aliases that point to retired models.
